This fits her character perfectly. When hermoine claims that the carriage is pulling itself, Luna lets her believe it. To some degree, she’s always been in on the joke and was comfortable letting others believe she was crazy. She has nothing to prove. Great theory.

@@erikhermansen3431 It's like when characters in a clearly magical setting don't believe in Santa or whatnot.

[@8citani8]

I always though that "nargles" were mean, crazy, or annoying girls in Luna's language. She mentioned how mistletoe was filled with nargles and some girls during Christmas were always under mistletoe, she said that nargles took her things and we know that were the girls from her room that were being mean to her. So when I read the book I always thought that nargles were girls that Luna didn't like

Part of what makes this character amazing is the casting of Eva. Not only is this, possibly the best casting ever done, but actually makes the character jump off the page in a way that is truly unbelievable.

[@dabougi8063]

Great point. I prefer the books (and also the wonderful audiobook read by stephen fry) over the (not bad in general) movies. But: I loved the movie luna in every second, the whole character is so adorably portrayed by evanna as if the book luna woukd be just a weak impression of her. This is so unique.... I mean, in the books she was a bit annoying and reminded me of a conspiricy theorist...but in the movies she was just adorable

[@amyvaliant9511]

A lot of fanfiction is about Luna experiencing side effects from the spell that killed her mother. This could mean that she IS seeing creatures no one else can see.

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

I'm curious as to what spells her mother was experimenting with, what spell eventually killed her, what it was meant to do, and how it backfired. I'd like to know how this loss shaped Luna. I imagine that she and her father are exceptionally close.

[@praharmitra]

One thing that annoyed me about Hermione was that she literally spent all her time with Harry who consistently broke known magical laws all the time (eg his magical connection to Voldemort, etc.) and yet, she wouldn’t care to even consider something that goes against what’s in her textbooks seriously.

[@samstromberg5593]

The way I've always seen it is that since she comes from a Muggle family, her whole worldview (magic isn't real) was totally shattered when she got her letter and because of that she's had to build a new one and in attempt to make sure that this one is right, she puts all her faith in those who broke her last one, because they must have the right one So for her, it's all about order in her mind - if the textbooks, the experts, say that it's possible than it is and if they say it's not then it's not I mean some might say "Magic is real - all fairy tales and everything I've ever heard could be true too" but Hermione is much too logical and methodical for that

[@liamwarner5749]

@@samstromberg5593 Which is somewhat sad really. She's so determined to deny this reality might be wrong she's actually denying reality rather than it opening her to the possibility of things being different. She doesn't just do it with Luna its something she's still doing all the way through to book six. The books are right and never mistaken or outright lying.

[@bryancross8068]

Hermione's simply acting like a girl She's jealous of another girl that MIGHT know more than her She wants to be the one that knows the most Luna is a threat to that, and, if Luna takes her spot, a threat to the relationship that she has with the rest of the Golden Trio

[@samstromberg5593]

@@bryancross8068 You know you didn't have to embarrass yourself, you could have just TOLD me you're an idiot and left it at that Hermione has NEVER been to PROUD to admit that she could be wrong. She puts too much faith in her books, but THAT'S her fault, not her pride. Luna has basically no proof of any other the things she believes - Hermione simply thinks she's an idiot. There's no element of pride of jealousy or fear to it. She just thinks Luna's crazy I'm also not sure how many girls you've ever talked to in your entire life but it's clearly not that many because "she's jealous of another girl that MIGHT know more than her" is not what "acting like a girl" means In fact I'm not sure there's ANY one action that you could describe as "acting like a girl" dude there's over THREE BILLION girls on the planet, there's too many to sum that up that easily Hermione also isn't that insecure - she's welcoming, and if she thought it's what Luna wanted, she would simply welcome her into the Trio and make her feel included. That's what she does with Ginny

[@tracyroweauthor]

@@samstromberg5593 yeah that's why when Harry finds the Half Blood Prince's potions book and starts using the handwritten recipes Hermione freaks out because she's following the book exactly and can't understand why Harry's potions are turning out so much better.

[@wdvorak]

The problem with Hermione in the books is she is too logical and too literal. Coming from a muggle background, the magical world is too foreign for her to believe unless she reads about it, and even then she can't imagine. Luna not only is Right, she always speaks the truth. Why lie? She's not interested in "attention". She's often picked on by her schoolmates, she gets enough (bad) attention as it is.

[@tracyroweauthor]

that and (book) Hermione is not really intuitive. Even in real life, "book learned" people often have a hard time looking past what they learn in books and applying it intuitively in real life. Everything is black and white to them.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Luna isn't my personal favorite character in Harry Potter (that would be Hagrid), but I think she's easily the most likable. She has an adorable innocence that nobody else does and I think Evanna Lynch elevated that a lot. She's just impossible not to love.

Hermione was never asked about the thestrals, it was only Ron Harry asked. Yet another thing they took away from Ron. She would definitely have known it already. She what they were when Hagrid introduced them to the class and I'm sure they would have been in Hogwarts a History

[@abrodeur]

I am sure Hermione would have know about thestrals but I don't see any reason she would have connect them to the carriages. 1) Hagrid start the herd with just 6 of them. I found on lines that there is around 100 carriges. So the herd had been around for less then 50 years and would have taken some time to get adequate size to be able to pull the carriages. I don't think it's unreasonable to think it's just not old enough of a tradition to be included in hogwarts a history 2) Even if Hermione had read about how thestrals being used as means of transport it would have been in the context of flight. There would be little reason for her to connect carriages being pulled on the ground to thestrals. ( I think they are on the ground since hogwarts dosent have large enough herd to be able fly ).

[@laurenmooers1723]

I wonder if it was a similar thing to not knowing about the sorting hat. Remember in the first book how Ron and Harry theorize how the sorting works. You’d think a 6th born pure blood wizard would know unless it was a magically protected secret. Maybe some of the things in Hogwarts a History are magically kept secret from some readers…… Not sure 😅 Just a theory.

[@tvrkm6897]

@@laurenmooers1723 I think it was just considered an unimportant thing to Ron's parents. Or rather, it was only a thing to think about for the first day, and there wasn't anything to do to prepare them for it (the hat knows best, and you don't really benefit much from knowing about it beforehand), so what was there to do about it? Besides, Ron was definitely told some random things by Fred and George. I can't remember specifically, but it was either a blood sacrifice or fighting a creature. On a more interesting note, considering that the hat takes preference into account, do you think it has ever done any shipping? Like, a kid gets the hat, hat gets ready to say Ravenclaw, but the kid thinks, "dang, but that cute girl went to Hufflepuff!" and the hat says, "I got you, HUFFLEPUFF!"

[@liamwarner5749]

@@tvrkm6897 I think its one of those traditions that everyone does like the 1st year taking boats to Hogwarts and 7th years taking them when they leave. Everyone was a first year unsure how they would have their house so no one tells the first years to ensure they have the same experience. Remember they're all together at that time and your telling me someone overhearing them wouldn't want to make themselves look better by saying "Really you think you have to fight a troll?

I also theorize that Luna was particularly talented at finding these little creatures and that is why her father started his magazine, because he had this exceptional child that could detect things no one to his knowledge had ever seen. I think she did once see a weird magic creature when she was very young that she named the crumple horned snorkack because doesn’t that sound like a name a child would make up? So xenophilius doesn’t see all this stuff but he has absolute faith in his daughter being right.

@@selonianth yeh, in reality I know the discrepancies are due to oversights or the inclusion/creation of creatures after the irl book was published. I was mainly referring to the SCBs' theory that in universe, Newt intentionally excluded some endangered creatures so they couldn't be found by mages who want to exploit them. Also, that whole scene in the movie just really bugs me - the way the whole wizarding world just goes along with the decision of a creature that most of them have never heard of, right after seeing how it can be rigged, just because Newt assures them this one is real. And then they also see a fight between Dumbledore and Grindlewald that all previous canon said couldn't have been seen.

I have never experienced them myself, but I have seen quite a few top players that have never had any problems suddenly second guess themselves before they throw the bag, multiple times in a row. I played against one of these players one time, and you could never tell when he was actually going to throw. After about 4 or 5 times each throw, he would finally throw it. He even was seeing a psychologist about the issue. It is very real indeed, and can take a real mental toll on people. It seems like it starts from a sudden severe loss in confidence.

I have a favorite theory regarding some of our favorite magical creatures: The scimitar oryx is a real animal with a crumply-styled horn that went extinct in the wild in the 1980s. In 2015, a small herd of oryx was released in a preserve in Chad. Two years later, that herd had their first calves born. It is my firm belief that Rolf Scamander and his wife Luna (Lovegood) were present at that release to see the crumple-horned snorkack, back to the wild. I've had this theory for a long time, and presented it at a Harry Potter symposium, under the title Fantastic Beasts and How to Save Them, where I discuss the threats to real endangered animals that are magical creatures in disguise.

Yeah, when Movie Flame didn't place her high on the IQ scale, I was offended for her 😂

[@Nehu_22]

Luna is my all time favorite character of the franchise, so I'm behind this theory before watching it I could be straight for her even

[@c0stco_hotd0gs]

keep up the quality content ❤

[@ammorgan12]

One thing, she wouldn't renounce the existence of the Crumple-horn Snorkack, it would just turn into the magical version of reality shows of big foot. She'd announce she's close, then, not here. Try again next week on Snark-week!

[@crimtanecreature8903]

I've come up with a What If that I think would be very interesting. "What If Harry Potter Was A Squib" I really want to see how you flesh out the story. Would Dumbledore know when he was a baby? Would he tell the Dursleys? Would the Dursleys treat Harry better knowing he wasn't magical? Would Dumbledore still bring Harry to Hogwarts to learn about Magic and teach him to defend himself? Would Harry still have some of Voldemort's powers such as parseltongue? Would Harry still get a wand and would his original wand choose him?(Even though he wouldn't be able to use it). Would it be public knowledge that "The Boy Who Lived" was a squib? Would Harry still be put in Gryffindor? Would Filch be kinder to Harry cause they're both squibs? Would Harry have more Astronomy, Herbology, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination(Maybe?) or Study of Ancient Runes classes instead of classes that involve using magic. Would Harry be taught how to fight without magic like with a sword, using potions or having pet magical creatures? Would Harry still go into the chamber of secrets and save Ginny? Would Harry still runaway from home and call the knight bus or meet Sirius? Would Harry still need to save Sirius from the Dementors? Would Harry still be enter into the tri wizard tournament? Would Voldemort still take Harry's blood and return? Would Harry be able to save himself and Dudley from the dementors? Would Harry still be allowed at Hogwarts when Umbridge becomes Headmistress? Would Dumbledore get Slughorn's memory? Would anything in The Deathly Hallows be the same?

[@ZCisCool]

That’d be a great What If!

[@madethistocomment727]

That narwhal reference was a throwback

[@sannasaare7100]

Luna is lovely and this is a great video - but - regarding the crumple horned snorkack - remember in book 7 (Deathly Hallows) when the trio are sipping tea with Xenophilius and Hermione points out the erumpet horn, which Xeno keeps insisting is from a snorkack. When the death eaters arrive, the erumpet horn is hit with a spell, causing his house to explode. So Hermione was correct in this case.

[@MyBookStory]

Love the wedding connection. Never put those two together despite their distance lol

[@Kiyan93]

Wowowowow.. wow. Whas that a reference to Pitch Meetings? :)

[@SuperCarlinBrothers]

I mean probably I'm not sure what your referencing, but i do love Pitch Meetings

[@Kiyan93]

@@SuperCarlinBrothers That's what I meant :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpyQlGaDiZZ5kKc By the way, thank you for your reply. I love your content and send you warm greetings from Poland!

[@coolnerdlll6053]

​@@SuperCarlinBrothers I did too until about a year ago when Ryan started playing the characters as just kind of overly mean and harsh. It wasn't nearly as much fun.

[@Unluckyasfngl]

When you open up KZbin and the first video is: 1. SCB video 2. Has Luna in it 3. Uploaded 15 min ago 🔥🔥🔥

[@an81angel]

Did you reupload this with a different icon? I could have sworn I saw this yesterday but with the actress's face as the thumbnail.

[@christphern]

My headcannon is that nargles are just what Luna calls the void stuff that The Doctor encountered when they traveled through the void in Season 2 of Doctor Who, and could only be seen by wearing 3D glasses (rather like the glasses Luna wears, in fact, when we see whatever it is whizzing around Harry's head in HBP). This could place at least some form of The Doctor in the HP universe, and perhaps he took Barty Crouch Jr's face, unconsciously, as he'd done countless other times in the series. Of course, in the version of Doctor Who WE see, HP is fictional inside that universe (as seen in season 3), but that doesn't preclude some version of The Doctor existing in the HP universe.

[@jeneehaviland5661]

Hermione is weirdly closed minded for someone who didn't really know magic was real until their tweens

[@joeyblaauw9763]

Growing up as an athlete that struggled with the yips...I appreciate the comparison

[@Queen_ADragon]

Can we all just agree that of all the Hogwarts textbooks we needed Hogwarts a history is like top of the list!! Don’t get me wrong I enjoy fantastic beasts and where to find them and Quidditch through the ages, but what I really wanted was Hogwarts a history

[@matityaloran9157]

And A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot. Maybe even The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore by Rita Skeeter

[@Prince_Luci]

You’re telling me my favorite character was right about everything? I’m on board.

[@JustACactus616]

Please do a video about connecting Harry Potter to Holy Week (philosopher’s Sunday, hallows sat/Easter, etc.)

[@harleycooper7335]

I can't believe he bought back the narwhales thing, I've been messing with people with this for years

[@lindadeal3344]

I love Luna and she loves pudding!

[@ImTMZ]

8:34 I had two versions of Arthur in my mind. One, "What exactly is the purpose of a rubber duck" Two, "I tHfiNk i GoT iT" from AVPS "He doesn't know what a moogle is"

[@kahiller]

Is it just me or did they change the thumbnail i swear i saw evanna lynchs version of luna before or am i mixing up videos

[@LoveShaysloco]

in Clint Eastwood trouble with the curve mentioned yips without mentioning it. hes a baseball scout and one of the guys he requited quit doing his baseball thing and he said send him home to his mother for a few days. when he got back into the game he was back at where he was.

[@Mountian_Mischief]

Very good I love this content

Now i want a fanfic of Rolf telling Luna all about his grandpa's adventures finding the snorkack etc

[@weedragonauts4729]

2:08 "she's the only one in the room that has a clue." goes to a scene where they're not in a room

[@quaktoons331]

Who's the girl on the thumbnail? Is that supposed to be Luna? Why change the thumbnail?

[@DBuckyBoy]

Narghouls actually LOOK like mistletoe. They're an off shoot of Bowtruckles

[@Olivia-no2hl]

Why did the thumbnail change?

[@coolineho]

0:15 can't believe no one complimented his perfect impression of Ryan from Pitch Meeting

[@katholmes7112]

I think Hermione denied what Luna saw because her whole identity was in being smart. It was all she had. Lord knows Harry and Ron turned on her all the time for 'ruining' their fun. If she didn't have her brains, she'd have nothing because her so-called friends didn't display much in the way of loyalty.

[@melodyfussell829]

Does Newt also know where to find Giraffelants and Grizzly Eagle Sharks??

[@Hoomon13]

My head cannon is that there are two manticores: The Eastern Manticore (pictured in the book), and the Western Manticore (from the movie). Maybe not these exact names, but something similar. Newt only included the more common one of them to protect the other.

[@martinschalken7583]

Why did you change the thumbnail????? I loved the original one with Evanna Lynch! Who are these strange people/actors in the new thumbnails? 😩

[@TheMoldyPudding]

The Carlins have joined in on the “let’s use AI to be lazy and to not have to pay artists” trend. It’s pretty sad to see these guys show their true colors because I used to respect them a lot

[@cassecorrea]

I’m so glad they changed the ugly AI back to the actress

[@martinschalken7583]

It seems to keep changing. I see the AI one again

[@cassecorrea]

@@martinschalken7583 great 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@whatifyellow5679]

Fire spirits may be like dementors in that, it's not that far of a stretch for the ministry to be keeping some form of powerful or destructive monster as an army given they keep dementors as prison guards.

[@trey3rob]

Why the thumbnail change and who is she?

[@TheMoldyPudding]

J has gotten into stealing other artists work using AI, so it’s probably just a bunch of art regurgitated by a computer that J gets to pretend he made and use for free.
